Actor Suhasini Mulay has offered to stand guarantee for the house arrest of activist Gautam Navlakha, who is in jail since April 2020 in a case of having alleged links with Maoist.
The Supreme Court last week allowed Mr Navlakha, 70, who claims to be suffering from multiple ailments, to be put under house arrest for a month.
But he hasn't been released yet, as the special court of the National Investigation Agency, or NIA, hasn't passed the release order citing security concerns for Mr Navlakha.
Ms Mulay came to the NIA court today and offered to stand guarantee for Mr Navlakha's house arrest. She said she has known Mr Navlakha for 30 years and they used to live in the same city, Delhi. Known as "surety", it makes a legal commitment that a person who is going to be released from jail will appear before the court whenever told to do so.
